“It's basically harnessing anything that can get us as quick as possible to delivering the right solution to users.”

Product management is undergoing a significant shift where the focus is moving from information movement to judgment and building, requiring product managers to stay modern and adapt.

Product design should focus on maximizing user comprehension and minimizing the cognitive effort required to use software rather than merely removing friction.

“It became an assumption that you should always be trying to remove friction when the challenge is really comprehension. If your software kind of stops me to and asks me to make a decision and I don't really understand it, you make me feel stupid.”

Product management is the practice of converting a team's potential into realized value for the customer by applying constraints to allow for productive work.

“the purpose of product management not the person but the practice is to convert that potential into as much realized value for someone as possible”
